When you speak in English, which way do you use??
①think the things in English→speak English
②think the things in Japanese→translate in English and speak
When I was a junior high and high school student, I use ②. Teachers also asked me to do ②. However, it cost a lot of time and I couldn’t concentrate on the story because I had to use both Japanese and English hastily in my head. It’s not effecient way.
On the other hand, thinking in English and speak is very simple and the best way. English is all that needed in my head. We can concentrate on the story we talk and enjoy conversation.
Yet, it is a little difficult to think in English. Then, my recommendation for getiing the skill of thinking in English is using English-English dictionary. When you are free or a bit bored in class, why don’t you look up a word in a dictionary?? Very easy words are OK! Soon you can find it interesting.
Let’s try it!!
